You are very confused. Let me clear up some things about DmC:

1) Vergil mentioned he was involved in a car crash that wiped his memory. Dante got meningitis and that wiped his memory. These were both lies. Sparda wiped their memories and hid them away.

2) Vergils hair was always white, this was seen in the flashbacks.

Now let me clear up why this doesn't align with DMC:

1) Dante's hair was always white. This was shown in the anime in a picture of young Dante.

2) Mundus is still alive. Dante and Vergil kill Mundus in DmC, which, by your theory, would take place before DMC3. This doesn't work because Mundus is alive in 3 and 1.

3) Vergil wasn't around again until the manga. From the time of Eva's death until the manga Vergil and Dante hadn't met and Vergil was believed to be dead.

4) They are confirmed to be seperate. they have jumped back and forth multiple times with reboot/rebirth/re-imagining/alternate univers, finally settling on alt. universe. Exactly what he said. They are separate universes, plain and simple. It can even be proven by how different the worlds are in DmC from the classics. There was no "Limbo" in Devil May Cry 1, 2, or 4, the only place similar is the demon world from 3, which even then is not "LImbo".

Plus, the game was not that good. In essence of itself, yes, it was a pretty stellar game, but as a Devil May Cry reboot, it is TRUMPED by the original hands-down. The story didn't make much sense, and most of the characters didn't either. Look at Mundus (which is said wrong all throughout the game), he's pissy at Dante because he's the only one who can kill him, when Dante at the beginning didn't even give two shits about Mundus. It was until Vergil and Kat, and Mundus, starting talking to him and revealing more truths, and such, when all of this could have been avoided entirely if Mundus just screwed off when Sparda and Eva first met each other, which also contrasts from the original story.
